Regulation A: Small Businesses’ Search For “A Moderate Capital”, Rutheford B. Campbell Jr.
Regulation A: Small Businesses’ Search For “A Moderate Capital”, Rutheford B. Campbell Jr.
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
Small businesses are an important part of our national economy, accounting for as much as 40% of our total economic activity and providing society with important services and products.
Small businesses face daunting economic, structural, and legal impediments when they attempt to acquire external capital. The absence of financial inter-mediation services means that they are almost always on their own to find investors. Their small capital needs mean that their relative offering costs are often sky high. Federal and state securities rules significantly exacerbate these economic and structural disadvantages by imposing onerous and unwarranted conditions on their search for external …

Investment Banking: Immediate Challenges And Future Directions, Andrew F. Tuch
Investment Banking: Immediate Challenges And Future Directions, Andrew F. Tuch
Scholarship@WashULaw
This article discusses the organizational nature of the integrated (or full-service) investment bank, the incidence of conflicts of interest in the financial services industry and the role and effectiveness of information barriers such as Chinese walls as an arrangement for managing conflicts. The paper also describes the growing importance to investment banks of proprietary trading and principal investing, the conflicts of interest that they can produce, and the recent responses of financial regulators to these developments.
The paper was presented at a discussion forum involving senior investment bankers, lawyers and scholars in August 2006, organized against the backdrop of litigation …
Regulatory Responses To Investor Irrationality: The Case Of The Research Analyst, Jill E. Fisch
Regulatory Responses To Investor Irrationality: The Case Of The Research Analyst, Jill E. Fisch
All Faculty Scholarship
An extensive body of behavioral economics literature suggests that investors do not behave with perfect rationality. Instead, investors are subject to a variety of biases that may cause them to react inappropriately to information. The policy challenge posed by this observation is to identify the appropriate response to investor irrationality. In particular, should regulators attempt to protect investors from bad investment decisions that may be the result of irrational behavior?
This Article considers the appropriate regulatory response to investor irrationality within the concrete context of the research analyst. Many commentators have argued that analyst conflicts of interest led to biased …
Remapping The Charitable Deduction, David Pozen
Remapping The Charitable Deduction, David Pozen
Faculty Scholarship
If charity begins at home, scholarship on the charitable deduction has stayed at home. In the vast legal literature, few authors have engaged the distinction between charitable contributions that are meant to be used within the United States and charitable contributions that are meant to be used abroad. Yet these two types of contributions are treated very differently in the Code and raise very different policy issues. As Americans' giving patterns and the U.S. nonprofit sector grow increasingly international, the distinction will only become more salient.
This Article offers the first exploration of how theories of the charitable deduction apply …
Contemporary Challenges In Takeovers: Avoiding Conflicts, Preserving Confidences And Taming The Commercial Imperative, Andrew F. Tuch
Contemporary Challenges In Takeovers: Avoiding Conflicts, Preserving Confidences And Taming The Commercial Imperative, Andrew F. Tuch
Scholarship@WashULaw
This article discusses contemporary legal, commercial, ethical and other issues that arise in the context of corporate takeover transactions. Due to their complexity and the numerous parties - including deal advisers - they involve, the loyalties of company directors and advisers are frequently tangled, creating legion opportunities for conflicted interests and breached confidences. At the same time, the high status of advising on takeovers and the financial lure they provide produce powerful incentives that inevitably inform the application of legal principles to these issues. The article adopts a hypothetical case study approach to focus on the challenges confronting these parties …
Shareholders, Unicorns And Stilts: An Analysis Of Shareholder Property Rights, Benedict Sheehy
Shareholders, Unicorns And Stilts: An Analysis Of Shareholder Property Rights, Benedict Sheehy
Benedict Sheehy
Abstract: Shareholders rights advocates argue that shareholders have the right to control the corporation. This article examines the basis for the claims. It begins with an analysis of rights, then moves to an analysis of legal rights, which is followed by an analysis of property rights as a species of legal rights. The article then examines the historical context, rationale and development of shareholder rights which leads to the analysis of current shareholders’ rights. The article concludes with some comments and suggestions concerning future development of corporate governance thinking.

The Seduction Of Lydia Bennet: Toward A General Theory Of Society, Marriage, And The Family, Scott T. Fitzgibbon
Scott T. FitzGibbon
This article sketches the foundation for a general theory of society. Rejecting portrayals that make society a field of exploitation and dominance, it proposes instead an account that locates the foundation of society in its service of certain basic goods. Society is a kind of friendship. It is to be defined based on the goods of friendship and the projects that serve those goods. Its elements, including those of obligation, office, shame, and rehabilitation, further those goods. The society that emerges from this account is a "society of life." This article also proposes the concept of "components of society," reflecting …
